I’m Only the Magic Tower Chapter 258
“Welcome uncle!”
“Excuse me?”
The quick ball worked.
It’s going so well that I’m almost embarrassed by this.
I was just planning to go out to eat or something, but she invited me to her house, saying she wanted to repay me for saving her life.
I carefully opened the front door and came inside.
An old villa covered in old oil stains. The wallpaper has turned yellow and the flooring is peeling.
I took off my shoes and placed them neatly in the corner.
“Keuhum, please excuse me, mother.”
“We don’t have a mother?”
She, wearing an apron and shorts, turned to me and said.
“Are you going to work?”
“This is just my room.”
“……Huh? So there are only two of us?”
“yes.”
… … Should we say that high school students these days are bold? I wonder if this is okay.
Then her eyes turned to the envelope I brought.
“Oh my, why did you buy all this?”
She snatched the envelope from my hand as if snatching it. She quickly lifted the envelope with both hands, making a ‘gasping’ sound as if it was heavier than she thought.
“I feel sorry for just getting food.”
“What are you talking about? I’m repaying you for saving me, so it’s okay… huh?”
Her expression hardened as she checked the contents of the envelope. She took out a heavy cardboard box from inside the envelope.
“What is this? Black goat extract?”
“It’s a black goat from Jiri Mountain.”
I said, giving a thumbs up.
“A whole black goat is boiled in a pot with 12 ingredients, including ginger, jujube, bellflower root, angelica root, astragalus, astragalus, and baekchul, and since it comes in 100 packs, you can eat one pack a day…”
“How can I eat this!”
I crossed my arms in response to her reaction to seeing something strange.
“Hmm, black goat is not that good? I guess I should have just used crucian carp juice instead.”
“That’s not the problem!”
She blushed and glanced at me.
“You look fine, but your taste is like that of an old man…”
“It’s just a pity. Kids these days should know the charm of health centers.”
When I took out a pack and shook it, she backed away as if she didn’t want to touch it. Just throwing it in front of her feet sent Hae-rin screaming and landing on her wall.
“Get it off me!”
“Black goat has an excellent effect on restoring energy. It is also good for growth and prevention of anemia.”
“What health center employee are you?”
She sighed and stood up.
“Anyway, please wait a moment. I’ll make it right away.”
“okay.”
She went into the kitchen. She said it smelled like spicy kimchi stew, and she was in the middle of cooking it for a while.
As she moved the frying pan, the vegetables and noodles bounced in the air.
‘Well, are you good at it?’
I think there was a reason why I intentionally invited him. I finished setting the table and waited. TV was still talking about the Kim Yu-shin Museum incident.
“It’s done!”
I didn’t have to wait long before she presented the prize. Kimchi stew, fried seafood noodles, and braised mackerel were the main dishes, along with various home-made side dishes.
“I haven’t prepared anything for you, but please enjoy it.”
“It’s a sumptuous feast! I’ll enjoy it.”
I wonder if this is the first time I’ve had home-cooked food. The stew and fried noodles were all delicious. As I ate, I naturally started talking less and focused only on eating.
She said with a smile as she watched me hungrily devouring it.
“Hehe, isn’t that a bit rude? You’re blaming it on a vegetable dish for saving your life.”
“Hey, where does that come from? It’s not like I’m asking for something in return for saving someone.”
“I guess you’re a hunter after all.”
I said, emptying my throat, which was sore from kimchi stew, with a glass of water.
“It used to be like that.”
“Then not now?”
“I’m taking some rest now.”
“Well, I thought snooping around museums during the day on weekdays was totally unemployed… I’m just kidding.”
… … You’re subtly dissing people. Still, the stew is delicious so I give it a try.
“I have something to ask you.”
“What is it?”
“Have you ever received a call from the Magic Tower? They said they wanted to hire you…”
I asked this question quite seriously, but she laughed and waved her arms as if she took it as a joke.
“No way! Why would you look for an inferior student like me in such a great place?”
“dunce?”
“Yes. I’m a little embarrassed, but my school grades are below average.”
It was unexpected. A 2nd circle wizard capable of using Windcutter is below average.

“I already told you that my aptitude is wind.”
“What’s wrong with wind magic?”
“To be honest, I think it’s a bit… weak.”
This can’t be anything other than an interesting topic.
This is the first time I’ve heard of magic in 5 years. It seems that there are some attributes that are popular among students and some that are not.
“So what is the most popular attribute?”
At my question, her eyes sparkled and she pointed her finger.
“No matter what anyone says, lightning magic is the best! The specialty magic of an active magic tower master!”
Is it for me? As expected, you are following the trend.
“Lightning magic is definitely tier 1! Teachers also think that if you have an aptitude for that, your life as a wizard is half full. Tier 2 is light, water, and toxic magic.”
“Cha Do-yeon, Kim Sa-rang, and Cho Yong-hee.”
“Yes! It is much more advantageous if it is the same as the magic of the five mages.”
The reason why the attributes of the 4th floor team members were preferred among students was because of the advantage of being able to learn various magic by following the path they had paved.
Tier 3 was other magic.
Things like fire, ice, and earth. And Hayerin’s wind magic was only Tier 4.
“Even kids with more than 70% Wind-type aptitude go there if they only have 10% Lightning-type aptitude. Wind-type magic has too little lethality. I guess they have to keep using Wind Cutter even when they get to Circle 4.”
“……Hmm.”
This is something I will have to correct someday.
I was also responsible for disappearing while developing circle magic.
“There’s no need to be so pessimistic.”
I said as I picked up some stewed burdock and ate it.
“Do you remember when I caught a monster at the museum? I did that with wind magic, too.”
“Hey, don’t lie!”
“It’s true.”
While we were talking, we talked frantically about magic.
Although we didn’t learn magic from the same generation, she and I are wizards. We had the same passion for the study of magic, and we talked very well.
“These days, the trend is for people with combat abilities with vague unique abilities to become wizards.”
“Oh, really?”
On the other hand, I was also proud.
The magical culture and education system that makes up the Republic of Korea today all came from the efforts of my colleagues and I.
Seeing the magical seeds I sowed grow so big, I feel like a farmer harvesting.
South Korea was currently a hunter powerhouse included in M10 and the strongest magic power.
“Ah, it’s been a while since I ate well.”
I said, patting my swollen stomach.
“I’ll do the dishes.”
“Gwae, it’s okay! What kind of dishes are you doing for the guests…?”
I ignored those words and lifted the table and carried it to the kitchen.
I put the remaining side dishes in the refrigerator with the lid closed, piled up the finished dishes in the sink, and put on rubber gloves.
I put detergent on the scrubber and scrubbed the dishes until they made a crunching sound.
“Well, I have one question.”
“What is it?”
She was drying the plate next to me.
“Yesterday, when a monster attacked the museum. Why didn’t you go to the shelter and hide nearby? I told you I would take you there, but you ran away.”
“…….”
She said something like this at the time: ‘If I go, people will be in danger. ‘I need to be here’.
To this question, she lowered her head and did not answer. I focused on washing the dishes again.
“If you don’t want to talk, you don’t have to say it…”
“I am.”
She looked into my eyes as if she had made up her mind.
“It’s a constitution that attracts monsters.”
“…….”
I was so dazed for a moment that I almost dropped the pot I was washing.
“Where in the world is something like that?”
“I’m serious!”
She raised her voice.
“It’s been like that ever since I awakened and became a player! Monsters always appear wherever I am!”
“……So the reason the monster attacked the museum was actually because of your constitution?”
“yes that’s right!”
Is that why you held out without going down to the shelter? Are you afraid that your friends or others will be in danger?
“Do you know that’s all? On days when there are picnics or outdoor classes, monsters always appear and my friends get hurt! Even when I go home after class, monsters keep appearing!”
I was lost in thought as I peeled off the seasoning from the frying pan. There was no trait in her status that could attract monsters.
Is it because he is Mana’s child? no. It’s a trait I also have, but I’ve never experienced anything like that.
“Isn’t it like a series of coincidences? It’s something like that. It comes from a psychological problem….”
“I thought so too at first.”
She said with a sigh.
“But there is also clear data! I saw an article saying that since the year I entered Caim, monster attacks against Caim have increased 17 times! Monster attacks have increased rapidly in each neighborhood I move to…!”
Wow, I was caught off guard for a moment.
“Bow your head!”
I hugged her and threw myself away.
Wow!
Out of nowhere, the window glass shatters, and what looks like a huge hawk’s claw sticks out and scratches the surrounding area.
-Keeeeee!
In the sudden attack of a flying monster, the wallpaper and floor are torn by sharp claws and become a mess. Yerin screamed in her fright.
“It’s dangerous, so lie down there.”
I stood up and moved my fingers.
Wires rose from the magic circle installed on the wall and wrapped around the monster’s neck and joints.
As I clenched my fist, the wires tightened the monster’s entire body. The guy, who was struggling and screaming harshly, soon falls limp with the sound of something inside his body breaking.
After confirming that even the cervical vertebrae had been shattered, I disarmed the spell. The falling monster’s body briefly passed by the window.
Couuuuuuuuuck!
The sound of a piece of flesh falling to the ground echoed loud enough to be heard throughout the village.
I shook my hands off.
“It’s all over. Are you hurt anywhere?”
Ha Ye-rin, who was lying down with her head covered, raised her head. Before she knew it, tears were welling up in her eyes.
“……mister.”
Rather than being scared, it was as if all the sadness I had been holding in exploded all at once.
“How can I live like this?”
I can feel the deep pain in my voice. I swallowed my saliva.
“Now even the owner will notice. This is already the fifth time we’ve moved this year.”
“…….”
“The reason I live separated from my mother is because I don’t want to put my family in danger. Even when I’m at school, I make people have a hard time, and my friends get hurt every time we have outdoor classes. How can that be good? Is my mere existence… a nuisance?”
I came closer to her, her tears falling.
“You idiot. You don’t say things like that so casually.”
“…….”
I sighed quietly as I looked at the girl crying with a despairing face.
“I will teach you magic.”
